I was trying to give this album a genre, trying to figure out what it would fit into and I decided on a somewhat pop, somewhat R&B feel. Then I looked them up on Wikipedia and the genre that was given was “Alterna..." [+] Reply

"Simple but great album. There's some weird greatness in John Maus. Cop Killer, The Crucifix, Keep Pushing On and Quantum Leap are the top songs for me." Reply

"Not a bad album, dont thinks its as good as his last. The first seven songs are good the remaining songs are abit of a let down." Reply
"This is the first album I've listened to by Elza Soares (so far) and I like what I hear. Great voice and I really like the noisy instrumentals on this one. Looking forward to digging deeper!" Reply

"Absolute fire album. Consistent quality throughout, the Travis Scott influenced beats and quirky flow from Quavo and Takeoff works brilliantly. The lyrics are not necessarily philosophically deep but this is an album you can just pop on at a party on in the car and just groove to." Reply

"I'll be completely honest, I don't get why this is the top ranked album. So American and Sleep Forever are great tracks, but the whole middle part of the album contains a bunch of little hooky songs that get stuck in my head because of all the wrong reasons.

"Everybody is back! Loved hearing everybody contributing on this album, Feist, Amy and Emily. Ariel Engle did great live filling in, and on her own songs.
